Fox Hotel & Suites

Banff Town


Aesthetically, the Fox is a step above its neighbors. Its forest-like lobby is instantly calming, while the 116 rooms, centered on a courtyard, feature attractive animal-themed wallpaper and lots of natural wood accents. The highlight is the Cave & Basin–inspired hot tub, with an opening in the roof that gives out to the sky. Service is attentive.

The bar-restaurant belongs to the Chilis chain, one of only a handful in Canada. The town center is a 10-minute walk away. Fox decor features heavily here.
